Shaking Flickr

While Yahoo!'s competitor Google (Flickr belongs to Yahoo!) has created a Flickr alternative (it still isn't public, but it has to be if they want to be the same kind of product as Flickr), they're also suffering some anger from their users (admitedly, including me). They're continuously restraining funcionalities, some limiting even Pro costumers. They're enforcing their single sign-on, pissing off some old-skoolers. And now they're publicizing Windows Vista! WTF?

Flickr is one of those companies that aren't the best in their field, but - because they were the first to get exposure, bennefict from their user base. But, if they keep doing this, will they keep growing?
